I'm so glad you have the little mermaid on there! With a limited film budget I think the 1830's fantasy is most of the costumes influence but I was never taught about Carribbean culture and finding reliable sources is really hard😭 I'm a passionate Disney fan and doll customiser and I'm dying for professional info on the costumes and construction so I can make a historical doll of this Ariel🥰 her blue dress could have been as powerful as Cinderella with a little more structure

Ooh! I’m really hoping to hear about clothing in Ottoman Turkey and in 17th century Thailand.

Dang. I hope you make it to 2025 movies and do Sinners someday. I’m full of half-informed hot takes about fabric choices and suit lines. 😅

Hi! I found you on Facebook, too. I'm sorry for bugging you. Im supper curious about how the 1960s Leslie Cinderella dress was made and the fabrics used to make it flow the way it did. Ever since I was little I have been fascinated and amazed by this particular costume and the choices made for the matterials of making it.

I just came back from watching the new “Count of Monte Cristo” movie and several times during my viewing I wondered how accurate the costumes were and thought “I’ll see what Bernadette has to say about it…”

Have you ever made a video about remaking an item of clothing from a work of art that is not a movie, sort of like BBC (I think?) did with Lucy Worsley (am I remembering that correctly?) and the green dress from the Arnolfini Portrait? 🤔

I was hoping you’d do more historical analysis. I love the eras that you love- but I did have a question for you that’s a little soft and flexible- those wildly wide dresses- the ones with the hoops that are just not fit thru door style. Why? Was this, in context, seen as- a statement? I know I’ve seen a few queens in just extreme shapes in the baroque and rococo styles and I was wondering more about the context of the era cause it seems like it was a statement of wealth and a shock factor rather than function. Was this something that lower classes of nobles did too? Was it like everything is wild in rococo fashion thing? I’m just confused cause it’s like why… wear a billboard sized hoop that you can’t fit though a door… I’m interested on the context and I know you focus on eras that come later where this is simplified but holy cow there was some serious dress architecture going on under some of the Marie Antoinette portraits- we generally only see queens so I wonder the context of the era If others were doing it and why. You live for a challenge so- I’d love to see you fit though a door in a double wide lol 😝. Just so curious and it seems sorta flat. I love how you make the pages come to life
